    .50 shooters.. Need some advise/feedback

    Re: .50 shooters.. Need some advise/feedback You can start with a good zero from 100 yards, then come up 27.5 to 29.5 MOA depending on your load. Probably better to make sure you are on at 600 and then work up. Try getting in touch with the folks who run the Rattlesnake Mountain FCSA...

    .375" on a CheyTac

    Re: .375" on a CheyTac Noel, Do you have a source for the WS2? Anyone have experience coating the bore? The reason I ask, is that I tried WS2 coated brass solid projectiles in FCSA competition years ago, but found that with the solids, it was "too" slippery, and caused pronounced vertical...

    .375" on a CheyTac

    Re: .375" on a CheyTac I know NotAGuru can answer this far better than I, but the land/groove/bore dimensions are different from a standard barrel designed to shoot a .375 diameter bullet. The solid, full diameter copper alloy Lost River/Hooker Tactical/Jamison bullets tend NOT to shoot well...

    .50 shooters.. Need some advise/feedback

    Re: .50 shooters.. Need some advise/feedback With a good zero, your backstop should be adequate. The issue is there are enough novice 50 shooters out there who have no clue about getting on target at 1000 yards, and end up throwing lots of rounds down range, short, long, and this is where...

    New SR-25 to my company

    Re: New SR-25 to my company Check to make sure all your mags function flawlessly. Some don't. The Navy had to send many back to be replaced or reworked. They seem to have fixed most of the bugs, and the newer ones have a higher percentage of been good. Just check them all to make sure.

    .50 shooters.. Need some advise/feedback

    Re: .50 shooters.. Need some advise/feedback At Atterbury they have to clear the airspace when we are on Range 6 with 50's. Your berms are plenty thick enough. The far greater danger, is if someone hits low, then the round can skip over the berm and travel a long, long way. The round...

    mk211

    Re: mk211 Lindy, Your MV is much more in line with what I have seen out of 29" barrels. I converted based on what SNIPER_SP had reported as a chrono'd velocity ("835-855 m/s). That is pretty speedy coming out of a Barrett M95. I have a 31" barrel on my tactical 50, and it chrono's at...

    mk211

    Re: mk211 670 is actually closer. I went back and checked a sample analysis I did about a while back: WCC 98: 668.9 grains ave/10 projo's. LC 04: 665.9 grains ave/10 projo's. Nammo specs: 43-47 grams (663.6-725.3 grains) Most samples I have seen were between 665-675. The ammo usually...

    375CT at 2000Y and 2500Y

    Re: 375CT at 2000Y and 2500Y Great post Steve. Sounds like a great time. I guess I'll stick to the Hookers until Noel gets us another 375 option. Scott

    Alternatives to chrome lining?

    Re: Alternatives to chrome lining? We Melonited 50 cal barrels for several years when we were shooting 12L14 Leadloy steel bullets in FCSA competition. The process may have been improved upon, but the surface was not real smooth after the treatment. It smoothed out after shooting a while...

    .338 Bullet Test, *Pic Heavy*

    Re: .338 Bullet Test, *Pic Heavy* turtlesniper: I didn't put it in the post, but I started with 94 gr. Retumbo with the 300 scenars, and I chrono'd it at 2850. No pressure so I'll try your 95 gr. load next time out. It grouped very well also. The rifle is working great. I am extremely...
